The Legend of Nanshan Jun

On the morning of departure, before dawn, I was woken up by Li Zhenrui.

Looking at the still dark doors and windows, I was surprised and said rather angrily, "Your Majesty, I heard that only those who are rushing to reincarnate can be so impatient."

Since these days, although I haven't provoked him with Heng Wang anymore, I have often ridiculed him hot and cold, making him often sigh, "I really misjudged the person, who would have thought that you would have this side?"

I also don't understand why my demeanor and good self-restraint in front of people will be defeated in front of him.

Although his patience has been improved several levels by me, there will always be a day when he can't bear me anymore, maybe it will be my death, but at this moment, I am enjoying it.

At that time, I didn't know where this reckless stubbornness came from, maybe it was the heart that didn't want to give in in my life.

He held his breath, and said calmly, "I'm going to visit you privately in a micro-clothes, you should put on quickly, Dieyi has prepared your luggage for you, and we will set off in an hour."

Seeing that he was very serious, I stopped contradicting him and began to dress quickly.

Dieyi had already prepared a set of ordinary light-colored robes, combed her hair in a simple bun, had breakfast, and left Miyagi in the dark.

I found out that he didn't come out of the palace as the emperor, so I took out a waist card, took my hand and left under the suspicious eyes of the guards.

After a few steps out of the palace gate, there was an elegant and gorgeous brocade carriage parked aside. The two grooms in front had cold eyes. When they saw us, they nodded understandingly. Instead of saluting, they thoughtfully took out the ladder and opened the curtain Account, please let us in.

The whole movement is simple and natural, well-trained, not at all like an ordinary groom.

Although the wound has healed up these few days, sitting in the carriage still makes me quite uncomfortable, and I can't help but change my position from time to time, but I will never beg for mercy with him, and Li Zhenrui can see clearly my heart .

"Come here." He stretched out his hand and pulled me into his arms, without giving me much time to think.

I breathed a sigh of relief, but finally said nothing.

Sitting on him is indeed much more comfortable than the hard bottom of the car, but I can't help but hug his neck, otherwise I can't control my body, which makes me a little bit unwilling.

But I understand the principle of riding a donkey downhill, otherwise I should be useless when I ride the carriage all the way to Beiliang.

I opened the car curtain slightly, and in the early morning Jinling Street was sparsely populated with many people, most of whom were selling breakfast, and some were Zhou Qin's restaurants, pawnshops, silk and satin shops, etc.

We took the official road, a straight road without many detours.

Driving all the way like this, it is estimated that it will take two months to reach Beiliang.

Thinking of spending the whole time in the car in the future, I feel that every second is a torment.

I don't know how long the carriage drove us. I was still a little energetic at first, but gradually I became drowsy, and I gradually closed my eyes while lying in his arms.

When he opened his eyes again, the carriage had stopped.

I met Li Zhenrui's eyes, his eyes were calm, he looked down at me, as deep as the sea.

I turned my head away and asked uncomfortably, "Your Majesty, where are you now?"

He didn't answer me right away, instead he only put his arms around me, and then said calmly, "Don't call me the emperor when you go out, I am now called Chen Zixuan, you are my newly married concubine, remember? ?”

Hearing the words of the newly married concubine, I couldn't help but blush, as if something gently flowed in my heart, which calmed down a lot of the unwillingness and resentment I had in these days.

I replied softly, "I see, husband."

He said "um", but his tone was rare and gentle.

He squeezed my hand and said, "Get up, it's time for lunch."

Stepping out of the carriage, I saw four large characters painted in gold at a glance: Shili Piaoxiang, this is a famous restaurant in Jinling City, but it is located at the junction of Jinling and Yecheng, very remote, if not for the name of Shili Piaoxiang, probably Not many people will patronize.But the food and drink here are very good, so even ten miles away, many people come here here.

It seems that we are almost arriving in Yecheng, I thought to myself, and followed Li Zhenrui into the restaurant.

As if he had already arranged it, the little second in front of him was about to ask him, so he said four words, "Tianzi No. [-]", and then slowly walked into a private room on the second floor while the little second nodded and bowed.

The room is exquisite, with carved beams and painted columns. Although it is not as good as the palace, it has a special flavor. There is a square mahogany dining table near the window, and the dishes and wine are ready.

Seeing him take his seat, I slowly sat down opposite him. The leader Xiao Er had long since disappeared, only a man in black robe stood beside him with his head bowed, whispered something in his ear and then left.

Although I was surprised, I didn't want to ask him about everything as if I had never seen the world, and just quietly waited for him to move my chopsticks.

He looked outside for a while, then turned around and saw me looking at him, and asked inexplicably, "Why don't you eat?"

I pointed to the dishes on the plate and said with a slight smile, "Wait for my husband to eat first."

He raised one corner of his lips, and said with a smile, "I'm starting to learn etiquette when I go out."

I coughed, pretending not to know, and still watching him move the chopsticks expectantly.

He was a little uncomfortable being stared at by me, and began to pick up the chopsticks and eat slowly.

Except for that state banquet, this is the first time I have eaten with him at such a close distance, and I have a feeling of being on the same page. It would be great if we could continue like this, just like an ordinary couple.

Compared with my casualness, he eats very carefully. He is very picky about every dish, and only eats the main course, never touches the auxiliary ingredients, and skips all the shells, including the restaurant's signature "cold-eyed stone pot". Crab" He has never touched it.

In addition to picky eaters, his dining posture is also very special. He straightened his back and hardly lowered his head. He only glanced at the food on the table, and then slowly put it into the bowl. The whole process was very elegant, but full of extravagance.

After eating for a while, I heard a sudden bustle of people outside, followed by a burst of neat footsteps walking by.

I looked through the window and saw that it was the imperial chariot of the emperor, accompanied by a large number of people, walking past in a mighty manner.

I looked at him with some surprise, but he was concentrating on eating with his head down, as if he didn't pay attention to the strange things outside the window.

After the imperial chariot left, they heard a lively discussion, "Have you heard that, this time the emperor visited Beiliang, but he only brought Mr. Nan Shan with him?"

"Who is Mr. Nanshan?"

"Mr. Nanshan, don't you know?"

"I came to Guidi at the beginning of my life, and I am not familiar with it."

"No wonder..." the speaker explained, "Even if you don't know Lord Nanshan, you can know the prophecy of Qiankun Pavilion?"

Those who responded responded repeatedly, "The city is masculine, and the world is cold and arrogant; if the north of the water, the south of the Nanshan?"

"That's right! I heard that Mr. Nanshan has a beautiful appearance and is blessed by the gods. His Majesty naturally loves him very much."

"Yeah, I didn't expect the emperor to dote on a male concubine so much. Not to mention that he was promoted to five ranks within four months, and now he is taking him to visit other countries. Will he be a queen soon?"

"It's really possible that the position of Lord Nanshan is already the head of male concubines in the harem."

"However, I heard that Mr. Nanshan is not innocent. It is said that he was still in the brothel."

"Really? There is such a thing?"

"Of course, does Mr. Xiyan from Misty Xuan know? He is Lord Nanshan!"

"No way, isn't Mr. Xiyan always wearing a veil? Who knows if they are the same person."

"This... I'm not sure, I just heard the gossip. Otherwise, why wouldn't Mr. Xiyan, who is both talented and beautiful and well-known in Jinling, not be on the list of the most beautiful men in the world?"

"Hehe, that's true, but how can we know such secret history, we have to ask Mr. Nanshan for the truth."

"Haha, that is."

The discussion was too loud for me to ignore. I took a sneak peek at Li Zhenrui and saw that he didn't respond and was still eating peacefully, so I let go of my nervousness.

I don't know if Li Zhenrui minds my former identity, most of the impeachment in the court is related to this, saying that my background is not innocent, and I am in vain as a son of a family.

But whether I am innocent or not, Li Zhenrui is the one who knows the most in this world.

He is angry with me for two things, one is the past with King Heng and the concealment, and the other is that he insists on punishing Concubine Shu knowingly that she has been wronged.

Of course, there are my repeated provocations.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but chuckle. I didn't expect that I thought I was smart but was so stupid. It can be seen that falling in love really makes people lose their judgment and blinds their eyes with jealousy.

The more you care about a person, the more you use the stupidest way to get his attention, but the result is just the opposite.

As if suddenly enlightened, the eyes gradually became clear.

It's actually very simple, I only said three words lightly.

"What?" Li Zhenrui raised his head in astonishment, somewhat unbelievable.

I blinked my eyes mysteriously, took a sip of soup and said with a smile, "You won."

"Not these three words." Li Zhenrui shook his head and asked eagerly, "What did you just say?"

I laughed without saying a word, and I felt happier than ever.

All afternoon, he frowned and recalled in the carriage, thinking that I was playing tricks on him again, and his expression was not good.

At night, we stayed in an inn, still No. [-] in Tianzi.

Although there were only us and two grooms all the time, there was always a man in a black robe standing by the side with lowered eyebrows and narrowed eyes wherever we went. After making arrangements, he disappeared just right, so it seemed to outsiders that it was just a young couple who came out to play together. .

When I was away from home, I also tried not to cause trouble for him, and waited on him carefully. After helping him change, I extinguished the candle, and carefully climbed into the bed and lay down on my side.

After finally falling asleep, I was shaken awake by him again in the half-dream and half-awake state, "Get up, we need to change places."

I opened my eyes in a daze, "Why?"

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up."

Seeing his solemn expression, I quickly shut up, washed up as quickly as possible, and then hurried into the carriage with him.

The moment the carriage moved, I seemed to hear the noise in the inn, and the sound of swords clashing.I shook my head, erasing any trace of foreboding that had arisen inadvertently.

We traveled very quickly. Yesterday we already visited two cities, and today is the third city.

Although it is not as big as Jinling City, it is considered prosperous.

But I didn't stay for too long. This time I walked on the mountain road, and the bumps along the way were severe. Fortunately, the injury on my lower body was almost healed, otherwise it would be a double suffering.

This other weight is——

"Ugh..." I couldn't help stretching out my neck and retching again.

His stomach was empty, and he didn't spit out anything, but he still didn't feel well, and his head was very dizzy.

I seldom go out since I was a child. It was the longest long-distance trek from Yangzhou to the capital when I was a child. Now I am going abroad this time, which is obviously worse than that time.

"Is it better?" He patted me on the back, finally lost a little indifference, and looked forward again, "We will arrive at Zhenlian Temple later, you will feel better if you eat something."

I really didn't have the energy to speak, and I was afraid that I would feel like throwing up again, so I closed my mouth tightly and didn't speak.

He touched my forehead with his rare hand, wiped off a row of sweat, raised his head and looked ahead, as if he was thinking about something.

I went to Zhenlian Temple and had a sip of porridge, and it really improved a lot. I lay down and rested for a while, firstly to catch up on sleep, and secondly to calm my dizzy head at the moment.

At some point, I vaguely heard voices from outside, "My lord, your imperial chariot is running in good condition, but we have been assassinated all the way. It seems that someone inside did it."

"It seems that there are really too many eyeliners in the palace, so I have to clean them up." Li Zhenrui was silent for a while and said, "Still proceed according to the original plan, everything has been arranged?"

"Yes, my lord."

Another person came and said in a deep voice, "My lord, there is a large group of people coming to Zhenlian Temple, and they will arrive within a stick of incense. Please leave quickly."

Li Zhenrui responded lightly, "Understood, wait a moment."

"Yes."

I opened my eyes and was finally sure it wasn't the voice in my dream.

He hurriedly got up, tidied up his clothes and pushed the door out.

There was only Li Zhenrui outside the door, he gave me a slightly surprised look, and said, "Are you awake?"

"Well," I nodded.

"Then let's go."

"Okay," I didn't say much, and followed behind him.

Inadvertently glanced at the majestic Buddha statue standing at the main entrance of the temple, the eyes on the left were wide open, and the wind on the right was dull.

It happened that the host came out and gave us a slight salute.

I tugged on Li Zhenrui's sleeve and said softly, "Husband, I want to go in and pay my respects."

He froze for a moment, then said quickly, "Go and go back."

"Okay," I nodded, and walked quickly to the temple.

I know that there will be bloodshed if I delay for a moment at this moment, but isn't it a sin not to worship when I meet a Buddhist temple?It just so happens that you can ask the gods and Buddhas to bless you for a smooth journey.

I silently made a wish in front of the gods and Buddhas, and then I burned a stick of incense devoutly.

Suddenly he heard a short urging from him, "Hurry up."

My heart skipped a beat, and when I withdrew my hand, I knocked down the stick next to it, and dropped a stick. I picked it up and wanted to take it, but was stopped by the host.

The host took my lottery, looked at me in surprise, and said, "Young master is so lucky to have drawn Diwang Yan."

"What is Emperor Yan?" I asked curiously.

"Emperor Yan is the lottery of great wealth, and this wealth is still the wealth of the heavenly family, it's amazing!" The host exclaimed.

I nodded with some understanding, now that I am Nanshan Jun, I can be regarded as enjoying the wealth of the Tian family, and this lottery is quite accurate.

Just looking at the eyes of the master, there is a trace of regret in the admiration, why is this?

I couldn't help but ask what was on my mind.

The master sighed and said, "Although this emperor's swallow is a lottery for the rich and powerful, it is not the top lottery. Everyone knows that in the old days, the swallows before Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people, and those who got this lottery would also experience ups and downs, and finally return to their roots... "

I want to ask more details, but Li Zhenrui has already stepped in and bowed to the master, "The Buddhist family is quiet and we are inconvenient to disturb, master please forgive me."

"The benefactor is kind, thank you, old monk. I wish the benefactor a smooth journey, so farewell."

Li Zhenrui nodded, took my hand and led me away.

I turned around and smiled farewell to the master, and he also returned me with a profound smile, which made me puzzled for a long time.

We walked down the mountain in a hurry, and before we got to the carriage, a group of masked men came chasing us with knives.

Then a group of people appeared in an instant, fighting with the group of masked people.

Li Zhenrui didn't even look at these people, pulled me closer to the carriage, and said to the two grooms in front, "Go to Cong'ejiang, hurry up."

When the two coachmen heard the words, they whipped their horses and raised a cloud of dust.

Because I deliberately accelerated a lot when I came here, it was really not easy for me to walk this mountain road.

Li Zhenrui hugged me tightly into his arms and fixed me so that I wouldn't be shaken up and down.

At this moment, I have to admit that my body is indeed too delicate. I am also a man. He has no discomfort at all, but I am already too weak to be human.

Stars flashed in his eyes, his face was pale, but fortunately he held back not to vomit, and finally kept the last bit of face in front of him.

However, it didn't take long to hear the sound of horseshoes behind the carriage, as if there were a large number of people.A sharp arrow shot straight at me through the brocade curtain.

The body behind me slammed into my side, narrowly avoiding it, but immediately followed by two sharp arrows, bowing left and right.

"Get down." He pushed me down, but he jumped up, kicked the arrow to the side, and then saw the timing, pulled me out of the window on one side.

After experiencing such a thrilling scene in a short period of time, I was really stunned, and my body was completely out of control. If Li Zhenrui was not by my side, I would have died long ago.

I fixed my eyes and saw more than 20 masked people standing aside, holding real knives shining white in their hands.

I have never seen this kind of battle since I was a child, and I was so scared that half my life went away.If it wasn't for Li Zhenrui grabbing my other half of life while fighting with the approaching assassin, I should have lost consciousness long ago.

"Xi'er, these people are very skilled, I can only play around for a while, you take the opportunity to run first, as far as you can run, I will come to you after I get rid of them." Li Zhenrui said quickly in my ear.

"No, I can't leave you alone." I grabbed his robe and refused to leave stubbornly.

"Hey, be obedient, wait for me at the Cong'e River. If I haven't arrived within an hour, I'll launch this immediately." He stuffed a bamboo tube-shaped object into my hand. I didn't look at it carefully, but held it tightly. , but still refused to move away.

"Let's go." His tone was already very impatient, his brows were furrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't hold me back."

He said so, I had no choice but to let go of his clothes, and only said softly, "Be careful, husband, I'll be waiting for you at Cong'e River."

"Okay." He said a word briefly, and quickly entered the battle.

Without my restraint, he was indeed as light as a swallow. He knocked down two people at once, and then a group of people surrounded him.

I saw two of them walking towards me slowly, with murderous intent in their eyes, I quickly turned around and ran towards the forest, followed by the two grooms beside him.

"Why are you all here, why don't you protect the emperor?" I said angrily.

They must all be Li Zhenrui's bodyguards, so they no longer shy away from mentioning the word "Emperor".

"My lord ordered me to protect your lord and bring you safely to the Cong'e River."

I want to say more, but the two assassins behind me have already followed up, so I can only hold my breath and continue running fast.

In fact, we are almost at the Cong'e River. If I hadn't been delayed before, I wouldn't have been hunted down so embarrassingly. At this moment, I am extremely regretful, and I can't stop crying.

Wiping his eyes, the blur in front of him gradually became clear.

I deliberately walked towards the dense forest, and the sound of fighting behind gradually disappeared. After running for a long time, I was exhausted and finally saw a river in the distance.
